Yes, Katsunami, book lovers have so much in common, regardless of age or nationality.
Another reason that ebooks are so alluring is that they open the world to us. Sadly, I read only in English, but I am now able to easily find excellent translations of the world's most wonderful books. Most of my life I have been limited to whatever I could find in bookstores, usually just American, Canadian, or English books. I just read a devastating but glorious book originally written in Hebrew and will soon read books written in Korean and Irish. Two new favorite mystery writers write in Norwegian and Afrikaans. I owe my new international perspective to ebooks (and MR).
